bedroom automation

Step 2: I am now making my primary insision into the circuit cavity

the first thing to do is open up the remote control that came with the socket. to my surprise I found it contained 8 push switches, 2 for each button on the remote

I'm attempting something like this but instead of household automation, I'm attempting to build some kind of robot toy for my friend.

I've got the K8055 board hooked up to my computer and I've attempted to wire in the controller of a robotic arm that I have laying around.

I've got the GND wire hooked up to one end of the switch and the DI1 wire going to the other side of the switch. But when I run the demo program and turn DI1 on... nothing happens, how did you wire up the remote to your experiment board?

Why were you surprised that there were 8 switches? Weren't there 8 buttons on the font of the remote transmitter? 2 on and 2 off for each of the 4 channels.

sorry for the late reply.
there were only 4 switches on the front of the remote, one doing off and on for each channel. thats why I was surprised to find 8. I suppose there were two switches so that, no mater where you pressed on the switch, it triggered the channel.
